Each youth member signs the Athlete Code of Conduct Commitment, where we empower them to act like owners of the club. Every practice finishes with club chores, where the kids are cleaning the space, mopping mats, wiping down surfaces, and coaches supervise and mentor in the process. We focus on character development, physical fitness and mental toughness.
